St Paddy’s Day is coming up and I am trying to come up with some green and some irish options. Lets start off with this green Omelette/Chickpea flour pancake.
This easy breakfast is full of awesome stuff. Spinach, cooked quinoa and chickpea flour. Add up spices of choices and fill it up with anything, grilled veggies or a potato hash or just serve as is.
Soft, simple and a great start to the day.

Makes 3 7 inch pancakes . Easily doubled
Ingredients:
1/2 cup chickpea flour
1/2 cup lightly packed spinach
2 Tbsp packed cilantro
1/2 cup cooked quinoa
1 Tbsp flaxmeal
1 cup water
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp each of garlic powder, mustard powder, cumin powder, cayenne powder
a generous pinch of kala namak (black salt)
2 tsp nutritional yeast (optional)
1/2 tsp baking powder

Method:
Put everything till lemon juice in a blender and blend until smooth. Add in the onion to the batter. Add other finely chopped veggies or bell peppers to the batter if you like.
Heat a thick bottom girdle at medium heat. When hot, grease with a little oil. Add a 1/2 cup of the batter to the pan. Spread by tilting the pan to all sides.
Cook 5-7 minutes or until golden, then flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes.
Serve hot as is, or with ketchup, Sriracha, ranch dressing or other dressing of choice and with roasted veggies or potatoes. I filled mine with potato and bell pepper with indian spices.
Variations: Add other greens. Or remove the greens from the batter and saute and use as filling. You can also use cooked millet or other grains in the batter.
These omelettes are being shared at Allergy Free Wednesdays.

Every one! Why are you doing this to me! lol I can’t wait to try them all. I will come back and give feedback … of course taste is everything …. I just love everything you are doing though. Keep digging! 🙂
Sonia
Hello wondering can you use coconut flour instead of chickpea flour?
Richa
nope, wont work. coconut flour will absorb up all the liquid and become a dough instead of batter and it will also burn during cooking.
Namita
Can we substitute fresh spinach with frozen spinach? I can’t wait to try this! Thanks! 🙂
Sudarshana Sriram

Ooo this looks so good! I have a quick question – Since I am allergic to spinach, could I use kale instead?
Richa
kale might taste a bit grassy. you can use chard or cilantro or omit it

This is such an interesting take on an omlette! Could you also use this as a wrap??

What a great concept! I can see this becoming a staple. I pinned the recipe but I am also putting it on a recipe card to pin to the range hood with a magnet. I love using besan although I mostly make socca.
